title: [Alcohol consumption and dyslipidemia risk: a case-control study in middle-aged men].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and risk of dyslipidemia in middle-aged men.
  
  
  METHODS
  Male patients of dyslipidemia (n=221) were chosen as the case group, while normal ones (n=233) as the contrast group. All study objects were aged 30-65 years old, came from in hospital or made physical examination at the Second Hospital of Shandong University from June 2011 to June 2012. Question test and physical examination were made for them. Single factor analysis and unconditional multi-factorial Logistic regression were performed to analyze the relationship between alcohol consumption and risk of dyslipidemia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with the contrast group, the risk of dyslipidemia significantly increased with increasing average daily alcohol consumption, while ORs were 1. 52 (<or=25 g/d), 1.83 (25-50 g/d), 3.11 (>50 g/d). The similar thing happened on the risk of abnormal TG levels, while ORs were 1.98 (<or=25 g/d), 2.79 (25-50 g/d), 4.37 (>50 g/d). The results of unconditional multi-factorial Logistic regression analysis indicated that the average daily alcohol consumption (g/d)(OR=1.007, 95% CI 1.002-1.012) was a risk factor of dyslipidemia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Alcohol consumption may be a risk factor of dyslipidemia in middle-aged men.
